Verifying Clock Recovery
To verify clock recovery, use the show recovered-clock command.
Router# show recovered-clock

Configuring Out-of-Band Clocking
A TDM network requires a synchronized clock at each end of the connection (source and destination). This
means that the source and destination clock signals must be synchronized with each other in order to maintain
data integrity on the communication link.
On the other hand, a packet-switched network (PSN) does not use a clocking strategy, which means that the
PSN does not provide frequency synchronization between the source and the destination routers. Therefore,
to transmit TDM data across a PSN (such as an MPLS network), we need a way to deliver the clocking signal
between the source and the destination routers.
